Re: Pumping mud in the mud-runner


I got mine from and engineering/tool shop. if you follow the link above that was added i think it will link you to stores in your area, dont go for the inox, lanox is the one.

And regards to WD40, The industrial age is long gone fellas, we live in the information age now and its those who grasp new information and change the quickest will be the successfull ones. WD40 just seems like 1940 technology to me, After all the Capt needs to buy it by the case?? And i wonder why that is????

But the problem is so much info to wade through and so may people trying to make up ideas to sell you stuff, we just have decide what is bull**** and what isnt??

Re: Pumping mud in the mud-runner


Alot of good replies and ideas.

I use WD40, simply because it works the best for me in comparison to anything else i have used. I find that the FEAR of it ruining the rubber gaskets is bogus. First off, they ain't rubber, okay, they are plastic polymer imitations of rubber,,, LOL.

But guys, just find what works for you, thats what I do.

I had a friend that got a bazooka and wanted me to teach him to use it. Well when I got there and we got set-up, I grabbed my can of WD40, and he stopped me,, Whoa thar, you can;t use that on my bazooka. I told him I have been using it on mine since I got it. He insisted that I not use it, so I told him "okay, you run it then".

Not trying to be a jerk, but DAYM if I'm gonna sweat and grunt my arse off cause my friend was scared of WD40. Ya know????

No Im saying your comment was and i was being sarcastic, if your going to say someones comment was specious, which means plausible, but false it would be nice if you could make a "pleasent and well toned" comment to point out otherwise so we could all gain something from it. Thank You.

Well put. This was just a little game being played by John.

The Butt-Taper is a tool he doesn't respect and he takes every opportunity to bash. Even in threads where it doesn't come up until his comment.

You can search on these forums to find the thread about the tool and make up your own mind. I won't go into why I think it has a place in the arsenal of drywall tools. Unless you ask me to.

By the way specious does fit. It is plausible that it could not be a good tool. There are several out there. John is also a knowledgeable contributor to this and other forums, so his comment could be conveying the truth, rather than just his opinion. Just this time, it is not.

I thought this was a post about the mudrunner. Kirk, are you trying to pull this post into a discusion about the butt-taper?? Perhaps you shoud start your own thread for that.

Re: Pumping mud in the mud-runner


Open your eyes Captn. John mentioned it first, though for the life of me, I can't see why, unless to start something. Perhaps you should be asking John to start the new thread?

Re: Pumping mud in the mud-runner


Kirk,,, Your going to have to face reality,,, we can say what we want when we want to, Your acting as if your the only one alive that can do any drywall.. when if fact you can only do small jobs at the most. and we are still not clear as to the quality you preform,, yet you are constantly call Pro's hacks and cracks. I think it is time you show proof ,,, start posting pictures of the quality outstanding work your so proud of,,and claim to be capable of,, and start taking on some real jobs... There is a big difference in just completing a small bathroom,,,compaired to taping out a complete home,, with 20,000 sq ft of sheetrock by yourself. Your constant nagging is really getting very old. You claim to do more than just drywall.. but your post past and present does not reflect quality or professional service... just simple handyman stuff. You have been corrected way too many times.. you can look up all the information you want and post it ,,, but that still does not mean you have the ability to apply the information. And it does show.. so before you make anymore such remarks about others ,,, Post poof of how great you claim to be.

Try not to change what I say. I didn't ever call any of you hacks, and have only said some of you are CRANKS, due to all the negativity and insults.

John can say what he wants, and so can I. If he doesn't like it, tough. Ditto for you too.

Big words from a little man, far, far, away. I bet you would be comfortable threatening Mike Tyson from that distance.

Nah, I will let the current moderator evaluate the post by John, its appropriateness, as well as the other comments.

Re: Pumping mud in the mud-runner


Kirk ,, Your problem is ,,, Your not capable of doing quality drywall finish work.. you have to rely on tools and material such as mesh and the buttaper to get your jobs done. You have never had to learn the skill it takes to completely finish a new home.. And you never have trained along side a master finisher before. The only information you bring to forums like this is information you have grabbed off the internet. whats the point?? I mean do you think you are being taken seriously?? you repeat the same stuff over and over again. We know all that chit already and a long time before you came around and we did not have to LOOK it UP... You can't tell me chit about drywall finishing. I've done it every which way you can think of and still show you a few tricks . So knock off the crap already. you can't even hand tape angles. ..
